How to prune thunbergia erecta

Early spring before the main growth flush; tip-pinch throughout the growing season. In early spring, cut all stems back by one-third to one-half above a node to stimulate strong new flowering shoots. Tip-pinch growing stems during spring and summer to encourage branching. Remove any dead, thin, or crossing stems entirely.

Once a year in spring; tip-pinching monthly through the growing season. Bush clockvine is a woody tropical shrub-climber that responds well to pruning, growing vigorously and becoming dense and twiggy without it. Regular cutting back promotes the deep violet flowers and stops the plant becoming a tangled mass. Prune hard in early spring and tip-pinch new shoots during the growing season.
